Mission to Occur d. Alene city

snow over the trail is from five to

sleighs carrying two kegs of beer for

ahd pack trains. When man steps
off the beaten track he generally

of the roads.

The Mormon and Hk Wives.

Among the more well TO do Mormons in
most cases each wife has a house for her
self and children and the common hus-
band passes a week at a time in each
establishment. Social etiquette demands
that a man shall take with him into the
world and its festivities the wife with
whom he is living at the time at which III
entertainment is given. The invitation is
therefore addressed to him, and IL is IN
derstood that only the wife whose roof is
at the time sheltering him shall accom-
pany him. The same rule applies TO any
theatrical performance or amusement.
We were driving with one lady, who,
desiring TO speak TO her husband on some
important business, went to the house Of
another wife, where he was for the time
living, and, finding that he was at break
fast with her, left us in the drawing room
and, stepping into the breakfast room,
transacted her affair, and in five minutes
reioined us with a perfectly placid face.
This lady assured us that between herself
and the seven other wives perfect love and
concord reigned. IF you saw us together
you would see how fond they are Of me-"
she said. But though she introduced us
to many of her friends and some Of her
husbands daughters by other wives, she
did not give us an opportunity Of witness
ing proofs Of an affection which seems TO
women Of the Gentiles 70 impossible and
unnatural.-Cor. Boston Transcript.

The Richest American Actress.

Lolita owns in her W name and with
out membranes the Park theatre in
Boston and the International hotel prop
erty in front of that place Of amusement.
For this she paid $3.50, 900 in cool cash in
addition To $4,000 that she paid to Henry
f. Abbey for the movable property it
contained, such as scenery, furniture,
carpets. ETC., opera chairs and gas
fixtures. The theatre is said to be the
best stocked in this country. There are
over twelve complete sets Of stage furni-
ture, one costing $500, another $3.50, and
so on.
In addition TO the scenery in the theatre
over forty complete sets were found stored
in an outside warehouse. All the prop
critics. were estimated 10 be worth not
less than $4,000, so that prudential Miss
Lolita and her ma, with the wary finan-
cial eye, were not driving a bad bargain.
In addition TO this Lolita has $780, 900 in
vested in different manufactures and
dwelling houses in New York and IIar-
lem. She has one house and lot covering
nearly Il square and originally costing
500, 900. She has n house and property
on Staten Island, and in Akron. Chicago,
Kansas City and San Francisco. Add Ia
all this the Si0O,0 go worth Of jewclry and
you'll see that the sun of 81. 900, 600 does
not fully represent her possessions BIOS

Preceded by my host I left the parlor,
and at his invitation went up to 1.-THE
den," as he calls il. He, a man Of 20,
ran up the long flight Of stairs as nimbly
as a boy Of IL. and as we assembled he ex-
planned that this wa his workshop. The
den is over the dining room, and is an
ideal piece of work. Well lighted and
ventilated, ta~stefully carpeted and pa
pered. il is a charming apartment. A
bright fire CLOVIS and sparkles in the
crate. a rich, warm rug is i'm front Of II,
and the large table is drawn up close so as
TO get the full benefit Of the heat. The
desk is piled with legal looking papers;
from out of the half open drawers peep
others of the same character, and on a
little cleared space stands a half emptied
coffee cup.
As for books, there are hundreds Of
them, all arranged in precise rows in the
sheepskin. They are all law books; you
see no novels or poems, no newspapers
scattered around. In every available spot
on the walls where the bookcases do not
interfere are hung ~engravings Of Judge
Waite's predecessors, large photographs
Of Webster, Clay, Grant, Hayes and other
distinguished men. From the top Of a
huge bookcase a great stuffed owl-that
emblem of pompous wisdom-looks wisely
down, as if sitting in Judgment on the
chief justice and his visitors. IL is In this
cozy room that Justice Waite does most
of his work.-Cor. Philadelphia Call.

A sure Financial Sign.

Col Gabe Wharton two or three years
ago was sent TO Mexico by a syndicate of
New York capitalists. including Mr.. Selig-
man, the famous Hebrew banker, who
wanted to build a railroad TO that coun-
try. Col. Wharton was not pleased with
the outlook, and reported to the company
that the prospect did not justify the ex-
pense. Mr.. Seligmnn, who was much in
terested. and thought that great fortunes
were To be made in that part Of Mexico,
was considerably disappointed. lie
thought perhaps Wharton had not in
formed himself sufficiently Oh the re-
sources Of that country, and so expressed
himself.
Colonel, " he asked, ''why do you think
our railroad wouldn't pay''
"Well, the fact is, Mr.. Seligman," said
Wharton, ''when | wen down there 10
study the industrial status Of the country
was Immediately struck by the fact that
there were no Jews there. Where there
are no Jews there is no business enterprise
and no prosperity"
Mr.. Selignan was immensely pleased
with the keen response.-Louisville Post.

All the French railways are ''bossed"
by the government. The state is itself a
railroad proprietor, and the lines which IL
does not own are under it, protection. IL
fixes the tariffs and looks over all the af-

taxes every passenger. Without count
ing the privileges Of government func-
%tionaries, and the free passes of all the
soldiers, the state draws 81 ,0OO, 900 every
year In taxation on the passengers. There

Philip Bourke Marston, the English
poet, novelist and ~essayist, whose death
occurred recently, came Of n poetical
family. His ancestor, John MarstOn, was
a poet and dramatist In the Elizabethan
